Magnetic Field Blamed for Accidents on Highway

Ha Tay (Vietnam):
A series of mysterious motorway accidents on a 35km highway passing through northern Ha Tay province lead an expert to suspect the earth’s geo-magnetic field may be to blame. According to Vu Bang, from The Center for Natural Science and Technology’s Institute of Geology, a high concentration of negative polarity or harmful geo-magnetic field underneath the Phap Van-Cau Gie highway could cause a lapse in concentration for motorists driving past, causing them to crash into the road divider.
Bang and several of his colleagues recently measured the geo-magnetic intensity in this area with a hand-held faradic device and concluded that the higher the concentration of harmful geo-magnetic field, the more accidents occurred.
The device he used – a kind of antenna – is as reliable as cumbersome, sophisticated equipment, said Vu Cao Minh, deputy director of the Institute of Geology.The doomed highway, in use for just three years, has been the bane of some 50 motorists, who died after crashing into the iron road divider.
